Well I don't fly often so the cost doesn't matter. If I did it every
week it might be another matter.

Only about the tube. I endured 20 years of commuting on it and I'd had
enough. Thank god I now drive to work and only use the tube to visit
the west end now and then. Give me a traffic jam any day instead of
yet another "signal failure" or "regulating the service" or "passenger
action" or whatever other feeble excuse for their incompetence they'd
picked that morning by chucking a dart at a board. They're just liars
as well as useless.

You should try using public transport outside of London. It's not much use
when your last bus leaves at 7 o'clock, or there's no service at all on a
Sunday. While the Underground may have its problems, it does generally work,
and on the occasions I've used the Piccadilly line to Heathrow I've not had
any problems.

is fairly often) I use public transport and it works fine. Even with a
minor delay, it's still fine, since I leave a little bit of extra time,
and check-in online, so can arrive and zoom straight through to the
aircraft.

Methinks you are just a bit negative generally. Sometimes, things do go
wrong, yes, but I use 3 Tube lines and a bus daily, and 9.5 times out of
10, it works like it should.

Whatever you say Mr Unbiased LUL employee.


Oh do give it a rest - just for once. If you think that what I wrote is
a lie then just say so.


Well, lets be honest , you're hardly going to critiscise your employer
in a public forum, or not if you want to keep your job at least. So
anything you say about the tube is immediately suspect. Also I'm quite
well aware of the libel laws thanks.

Well thats your choice to live out in the sticks. When you live in a
capital city you expect a workable public transport system.

I don't and never have lived out in the sticks. I was, however, referring to
my experiences when I lived in another major British city. The transport
system in London does work most of the time. You seem to either have an axe
to grind or are simply a troll.
